PWDR is a new beauty brand that is setting itself apart with standout products like its [Powder to Gel Treatment serum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homethings), which is activated by water and is formulated with hyaluronic acid. With this approach, the brand is able to create products without filler ingredients such as emulsifiers, stabilizers and preservatives, which can cause sensitivities in some consumers. PWDR also produces a no-water [Rose Exfoliating Face Wash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enzyme-cleansing-powder), which transforms from a powder to a crème with a foamy texture and micro-exfoliating granules when water is added by the consumer at the time of use. Due to the unique powdered formulas of the products, PWDR invites consumers to "play and customize" to meet their skin's specific needs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Powder Skincare Products:** The trend towards creating waterless and powdered skincare products is growing, presenting opportunities for new product formulations and packaging designs. - **Eco Beauty:** Consumer investment in eco skincare is driving innovation in formulations and packaging, creating opportunities for brands to capitalize on the trend. - **Customizable Skincare:** Brands that offer customizable skincare solutions, such as PWDR's invitation for consumers to mix and match their products to meet their specific needs, are poised for success in the market. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty:** The beauty industry is ripe for disruption as consumers become increasingly invested in eco-friendly and personalized skincare solutions. - **Packaging:** The trend towards waterless and powdered skincare products presents an opportunity for innovative packaging solutions that cater to these product formulations. - **Sustainability:** Brands that prioritize sustainability in their product formulations and packaging, such as PWDR's focus on eliminating filler ingredients, have an advantage in the market as consumer demand for eco-friendly options grows. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydrating Powder Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-powder-serum.md) - [Coconut-Infused Face Cleansing Powders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-cleansing-powder.md) - [Concentrated Waterless Cleansers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-wise.md) - [Water-Activated Facial Cleansers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleansing-facial-powder.md) - [Powder-to-Cream Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerious-by-arove.md) - [Dissolvable Skincare Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderluxe-beauty.md) - [Powder-to-Foam Cleansers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enzyme-cleansing-powder.md) - [Liquid-Free Shampoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-shampoo.md) - [Elevated Tablet-Style Cleansers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seadrop-skincare.md)
